Strange, I thought content flagging due to copyright was part of DMCA and YouTube would have no liability. Under that, YouTube simply had to provide a method for copyright owners to report and for content posters to respond. Did that change? If not this guy is ranting about idiots flagging stuff, not about YouTube.

The thing is that youtube have an automated system called Content ID match that goes byond what DMCA requires. The system is most likely automated and it is used to match media from an archive with media in a video. If there is a match then the video is automaticly flagged. However, for some reason, youtube seems to have made a blanked check on everything witch have flagged videos from youtubers that actually have the right to use the content. It looks like there wasn't any claims made by anyone, as many publishers such as Blizzard, Deep Sliver, Ubisoft, Capcom and more, have said that youtubers that have gotten videos containing content from these publishers flagged sould dispute the claim rigth away so that it can be removed as fast as possible.

If you have the time I would suggest watching this video as well. (I know it's long, but it's worth it.)

I don't, unfortunately, but I'm currently listening to a full album from a band on a major label known to contest content. Not a VEVO thing. It's still there. Has been for a long time. If they're picking out content from background music, I'd assume they'd have gotten this one by now. (The upload is not from anyone related to the band, but if anyone related to the band is reading this, I'm going to your concert in a couple months and I'll probably buy a t-shirt).

I forgot to mention it but apparently this is mostly just targeting video game related content.

They don't review games, so they can continue on fooling around in a game they're not good at and aren't interested in, just to hoard more views.

I think what people like Angry Joe, TotalHailbut, Swifty and Athene do is very demanding. And many of the skills they have would be in great demand in many jobs such as marketing skills, people skills, creativity, entrepreneurship, IT skills etc.

Dunno about swifty, but angry joe and total halibut actually criticize games, not just put a longplay on youtube of them playing a video game

Swifty is a very smart person, most people don't know how engaging he is with his audience, there is a reason he uses giveaways. I have seen a lot of his IRL and game videos and he uses analytic very well. That is something not to be sniffed at. As for Total Biscuit, he is British so of course he will always get my vote

They perform a task that is demanded of them for money. Isn't that the definition of a job? I think most of them are kind of idiotic too, which is why I don't provide them with my own traffic, but a job is a job, and that is a job. Enough people think they're worth their time for it to be so.

It's not fair to attempt to trivialise what they do, as it also serves to trivialise the complaints people have about the subject matter at hand.

As ridiculous income stream it can seem on the face, I can't say I envy it (without knowing EXACTLY how much they earn though). There's a lot of work, dealing directly with unreasonable idiots by choice, about something they are passionate about no less.
